Tribalism Poems - Poems about Tribalism

His name is Momoh Kamara a brilliant mind, fresh from school confident, driven his future packed in a folder and a dream. But they didn’t see that. They saw Themne. They saw North. And whispered spy, problem, glitch. “Wait for our call,” they said. So Momoh waited days grow into to months hope rusted in the silence. Four years, four heavy years he chased a future that...

Those sad voices echo from every corner From the faiths we hold To the jobs we seek To the stories of division we are told This devil of separation Carved in the sounds of our tongues Etched in the scars on our faces Is defined by the colour of one’s skin. But what does...

Look how fractured a people we are The strong bond we once shared Is no longer anywhere to be found Except in the torment where we are bound. We let an unknown concept The babble of the tongue The marks on one's cheek Divide us, leaving our lives to reek. Here we are still struggling To stitch the patches on our lives For a senseless...

I know a country, With three set of citizens, The rich, The well fed slaves, And the hungry free people. I know a country, Where graduates are jobless with buried hopes, In this country, so many lies told are believed to be the truth, Religious intolerance and extremism causes discrimination, And there is over dependence on crude oil than agriculture, education and youth...

We are quarreling over a graveyard of great ideas Wandering under skies filled with flying political spears Ideas are rotting under the soils dug by the unscrupulous We buried our true identity and our mourning is pretentious The commoners with good intentions are called riffraffs The undereducated with concerns are labeled bellyachers The elite have a sense of entitlement that exceeds...

We sow discord, Yet we're thirsty of peace. We chant war, Yet our ears call for euphonia. Racism infests our world; Tribalism invades like malaria. Although we have diverse languages, With love there is no barrier. We attack the weak, And leave them with dysthymia. We hunt strangers like Tiger, And replace euphoria with dysphoria. Oh children of Adam! We are one family. Do away with xenophobia, And put on...

We are Adam's progeny, But we separate ourselves from each other. We are no more our brother's keeper; Like Cain, we are diabolical. Xenophobia feasts on our heart; No sympathy for strangers. We chew hate speech in the home; We utter hate speech on media. We look down on other race; We must have forgotten Pangea. Superiority complex spawns slavery; It is psychological. The disease of the...

airing zeal! If (dog forbid) the richly paid, namebrand looming kneecapped kneeling illustrious giant egghead con cussed career athletes fumble, crumble and bumble spelling a loss for those spectators (who doled out a wad of cash) quickly make collective disappointment known by cursing, first in loin, odiously reprehensible, unacceptable wimpy yikyaking atrocious carpetbombing expletives.

I sit here always trying to make sense of the beautiful world that surrounds me. The sunlight just dazzles, spring leaves are dense on the trees, in their fluttering seem to be dancing on the season's arbitrary breezes. What I don't understand and must question is the flaw in our makeup that seizes on each other's frailties, with cold intention we murder each...
